The Program

More than the list shows.

The habitat is managed for species that do well in this country, and we hunt mature animals. We add animals to the herd every year, so the species below aren’t everything we can put you on.

Most are available year-round based on the herd, hunted across open country, brush, draws, and water. A few, like red stag and fallow, come into their own October through February. Availability shifts through the year, so the first step is always a conversation.
